The Grizzlies’ Nick Calathes Experiment, if you want to give it a name, continues. Brought in after playing four years in Europe to be Mike Conley’s backup at point guard, he has been playing more minutes in the wake of Conley’s bruised thigh.

KIPP Memphis, which currently educates 500 students in grades five through nine at two schools, has embarked on an ambitious expansion plan that will include opening 10 collegiate schools educating roughly 4,500 students in North and South Memphis by 2016.

Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. on Aug. 27 will kick off One Memphis, a Cities of Service initiative, with a day of service from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

One Memphis Service Day participants will meet at KIPP Collegiate School, 230 Henry Ave. Volunteers can plant a garden, clean up the neighborhood and learn more about the initiative’s five partner organizations: Literacy Mid-South, Memphis Athletic Ministries, Memphis City Beautiful, Meritan and Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association.

Representatives of the Tennessee Bankers Association met several days ago with a cross section of the more than 230 banking institutions across the state. The message relayed to the industry group is few Tennessee banks are waiting in the wings to sell their hard-to-value mortgage-backed loans to the government and thus use the U.S. Treasury Department’s bailout plan to clean up their balance sheets.

For the first couple of weeks of the 2006-2007 school year, high school principal Kana Mabon was a math teacher. Until Memphis City Schools found someone to teach that subject, the principal of the New Small High School did her best to convey her knowledge of ninth-grade mathematics.

For the state of Tennessee, at least, Memphis is the birthplace of the charter school. The movement to get charter legislation passed gained much of its steam through the Hyde Foundation, which helped to support and guide the process.
